Simpler questions would be “Is Dr. Smith’s intentional practise of omitting important information relevant to his client’s treatment ethical?” or “Is Dr. Smith’s failure to report his client’s actions to the authorities morally justifiable?” Both would be good questions, but I believe the question the study guide asks us to consider embrace both of these questions. The possible answers to the question are “yes” or “no”. I will be using rule-based utilitarianism and Kantian deontology to analyse this case study. There is not enough information to consider act-based utilitarianism: Act-based utilitarianism essentially says that one should perform that act which will bring about the greatest amount of good (“happiness”) over bad for everyone affected by the act. Each situation and each person must be assessed on their own merits (Thiroux, 2004, p. 42).
2. A good title will lead you into research. All forms of Extended Project involve significant research. If you have chosen a good title, it will be fairly obvious where you need to begin researching. On the other hand, if your title does not lend itself to research, this may well indicate that it isn’t really suitable.
We could bring up the case as a sample to demonstrate what we are discussing about. However, adding a question to prove our point is not recommended in academic writing. The subject line information to identify the situation has to be included on the head of the memo. In addition, clarity, correctness, and courtesy are very important and they represent for our efforts. The memo should be clearly written and organized in direct order, beginning with the objective and then systematically and covering the vital bits of information (Rentz, 2008).
Heraclitus’s greatest claim in his theory on metaphysics is that the LOGOS is the key to understanding everything. This idea of the LOGOS was one that Anaxagoras expounded on, in particular “all things were one.” (Mckirahan 196, Fr. 13.1) In this paper I will address the ideas posited by Anaxagoras as they relate to Heraclitus’s ideas in their respective metaphysical theories. Moreover, I will focus on how Anaxagoras elaborated and in a sense corrected Heraclitus’s view on the nature of being. Anaxagoras’ ideas are in many ways similar to that of Heraclitus; however, there are some deviations that I will highlight in contrasting each philosopher’s theory on the nature of what is.
When writing, knowing how to write a summary, paraphrase, and quote a source is key conveying your ideas without plagiarizing someone else’s. While developing a summary there are some key things to remember. When you are summarizing someone else work you must read and understand the authors work. Without understanding the context and main points of someone’s work you will not be able to put it into your own words. Although it is unreasonable to think that while writing a summary someone can be completely objective, that is the goal.
Every technology is both a burden and a blessing, not either or, but this and that.” (Postman, 2012) I do believe that in a pro-technology society like the one we live in, it is important to have someone reminding us, if not ourselves, of the negative aspects of new inventions but these reasons should not be misleading or simply take place for everything including the positive
Delbanco’s interpretation that Thoreau creates world that we both need and fear is basically saying that Thoreau creates the perfect world that we would need to best survive and would strive the best in; however this world is something that we as people are not used to and have never experienced so we would be skeptical and scared when it is presented to us. I definitely agree with Delbanco’s statement about Thoreau’s world. Although it would be nice to love in a world where things were based on a man’s conscience rather than government, and the people played a bigger part in how things were ran; it would be something nobody is used to therefore no one would really know what they were doing and who is to say we can trust everyone’s conscience because there are some people in the world with bad consciences. In my opinion Thoreau’s world would only work in
That is why everyone needs a "feel" for science and a realistic attitude to risk - otherwise public debate won't get beyond sloganising. Jo Rotblat favoured a "Hippocratic oath" whereby scientists would pledge themselves to use their talents to human benefit. Scientists surely have a special responsibility. It is their ideas that form the basis of new technology. They should not be indifferent to the fruits of their ideas.
As Ira Irwin proposed; “The greatest discoveries have come from people who have looked at a standard situation and seen it differently” demonstrating that explicitly searching for a new landscape condemns an individual to a constrained area of discoveries. To make a true revelation an individual must not search; rather, they must look at their surrounds from a new perspective. The important discoveries, those that last, are ones which are not pursued but contrarily are a result of previous actions such as the widening of one’s lens and the way they view the world around them. William Shakespeare effectively demonstrates the notion of looking with a ‘new pair of eyes’ in The Tempest as does Darren Aronofsky in his psychological thriller Black
As discussed within this paper the vast amount of studies and research surrounding the 'legal' causes of miscarriages of justice are just simply being reinvented. This will not eradicate the problem, it just highlights the need, to expand on the existing tactics, in order to accomplish a deeper understanding, of the causal factors of miscarriage of justice cases. There is also a need to search for the truth, and as all evidence has the ability to become contaminated, the CPS should acknowledge, that there is possibility, for eyewitness evidence to be contaminated also. It is essential to develop a criminology of miscarriages of justice in order to gain an in depth understanding of the root causes in order
